To Connect the Measurement Cable to the Connector
Plate
This section provides instructions for connecting the measurement cables from the
4155C/4156C to the connector plate. For connector plate installation information,
refer to the 16495 Installation Guide.
The following connector plates are available for the 4155C/4156C:
Agilent 16495H Connector Plate with 6 Triaxial Connectors
16495H-001 has 6 triaxial through connectors (female to
female), 6 BNC through connectors (female to female), an Intlk
connector, and a GNDU connector (triaxial through, female to
female). The back of the Intlk connector is designed for
soldering.
16495H-002 has 6 triaxial connectors, 6 BNC connectors, an
Intlk connector, and a GNDU connector. The back of each
connector is designed for soldering.
Agilent 16495J Connector Plate with 8 Triaxial Connectors
16495J-001 has 8 triaxial through connectors (female to
female), 4 BNC through connectors (female to female), an Intlk
connector, and a GNDU connector (triaxial through, female to
female). The back of the Intlk connector is designed for
soldering.
16495J-002 has 8 triaxial connectors, 4 BNC connectors, an
Intlk connector, and a GNDU connector. The back of each
connector is designed for soldering.
Making non-Kelvin connection (4156C)
As same as the 4155C, the Force terminals of the 4156C can be used to force and
measure dc voltage or current. If you want to simplify the cable connections, open
the Sense terminals and connect the Force terminals only to the test fixture by using
the triaxial cables.
If you make the kelvin connection, use both Force and Sense terminals. Connecting
the Force and Sense lines together at the terminal of the device under test minimizes
the measurement error caused by the residual resistance of the connection cables.
The kelvin connection is effective for the low resistance measurement and the high
current measurement.
